Same here. I'm in West Chester. I don't know how the hell I've managed it, but I've worked here for 4 years and lived here for 3 and still haven't made it to Victory. I've had plenty of their beer, but haven't managed to drag myself out to the brewpub.

henryhill:How about having a Philly Fark party in Philly and not out in the sticks

This! It's not a Philly Fark Party it's a "Somewhere in the Bumblefark Suburbs of Philly Fark Party". What's wrong with Chickie & Pete's or Finnegan's Irish Wake? Or any of the other hundreds of bars actually in Philly? Unless this party is moved to a bar that's actually in Philly, I'm not driving over an hour to get to a "Philly" Fark Party.

funzyr:Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii: asleep71: My friend used to be a brewer at that Victory. Now he works somewhere else, Slyfox I think.

As for the 'out in the sticks' comments, you couldn't be wronger. Yes it is west of actually philly by about 45- 60 minutes (depending on traffic) but it's not Parkesburg or Gap.

This is probably the closest Fark party to me that I will not attend.

Both Parkersburg and Gap aren't "out in the sticks". They are borderline Pennsyltucky...

I currently live in "Penssyltucky."

/York//Feel sorry for me.

I do!! My sister's husband is from York...I know what it's like out there! Her Mother-in-Law had two kinds of Tupperware... Everyday Tupperware that was used to store food in the fridge or cabinet and Good Tupperware that was used to serve food on special occasions and Holidays. And when she passed away, God rest her soul, all of her friends wore their best denim to her funeral. Yup, there's nothing quite like Pennsytucky! The only good thing about it is Shady Maple. Mmmm smorgasbord! Now there's a place for a Fark Party!

/End rant...

You guys are quite welcome to organize a party in the city. As I'm putting this one together, I think Victory is a great place to have it.

You know, a bunch of you dumb-asses could plan together and and figure out the taxi/booze-bus situation before hand, or even look into hotel rooms.

GOSH! IF only you had nearly 2-months to plan! And a common, public message board on which to plan it!

/has a friend in north Philly, would consider this, but is honest with self and would probably just stay at his house and drink 'till all hours of the night.//At least I admit I'm a loser and don't blame weak excuses! Victory Brewing is great beer!

I would go, except it's forever away. What about Triumph Brewing Company, IN Philadelphia, or the Grey Lodge, in NE Philly, or South Philly Tap Room, in South Philly, or somewhere like that? Heck, I would even attend Johnny Brenda's. They're all large enough to hold bigger groups of Farkers, not to mention would be more convenient to get home from for people who actually live in Philly without risking one's life?

rib246:I will also tell you that this isn't the "sticks" Downingtown/chester springs? Exton etc.. are amoung the richest zip codes in the state and the final destination amoung many of the Philly Elite.

I'm pretty sure "sticks" in this circumstance is referring to the limited public transportation, need of a car to get around, etc. Downingtown isn't exactly a burgeoning urban area.
